Mixed Reactions at Hearing on Old Charlestown Road Widening
A public hearing on widening and rebuilding 1.2 miles of Old Charlestown Road from Rt. 11 N to Rt. 664 drew over 30 residents at Clearbrook Park. State officials outlined a 22 foot pavement with 8 foot shoulders and a broader right of way while noting a new B and O railroad bridge and the need to accommodate planned growth and traffic. Some residents opposed the plan citing speed, width, and local access concerns, while others supported improvements and potential property value gains.

Frederick Asked to Share Cost of Land
Frederick County and Winchester were asked to share the estimated 25 000 cost of land for a future expansion of the county city health department downtown. Dr. William H. Hatfield said two adjacent lots are needed for parking and expansion and that 75 percent of the 100 000 initial cost could be reimbursed by the state through a multi year lease. He warned population growth will swell cases and stated the clinic now has only half the nurses needed. The County Board delayed action, requesting a decision within two weeks.
